Going straight westward for about 30 kilometers from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, there is an east-west national highway, and on both sides of this national highway is a dense forest. Legend has it that in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a "mythical city" ".

According to people who have entered here by mistake, the castle is made of pure white rocks, and it is very magnificent. There is no one living in the castle, like an abandoned city, but the facilities in the castle are complete and everything is in order, which makes people feel like The illusion that someone lives here.

At this time, it ushered in the owner who came here to participate in the desperate struggle called the Holy Grail War.

"Mom! It's so beautiful here!"

The silver-haired little girl in a purple thick velvet dress cheered happily while running in the corridors of the castle.

"Illya, don't cause trouble for everyone."

This is a beautiful woman who is 90% similar to the running girl. She wears the same type of down jacket as her daughter, and she also has silver hair and red eyes. Irisviel von Einsbern's woman called out in a little distress.

"Let her run away," someone said in a calm and calm voice, and when Irisviel turned away in disapproval, he added: "It's not just Illya, even you Go away."

"Well, that's true." The silver-haired woman thought for a while and nodded.

The man next to her with eyebrows, eyes and face that looked a bit stern was called Emiya Kiritsugu, who was Irisviel's husband, and they lived together in the Einzbern family before.

Irisviel was unable to go out freely due to various reasons, although Emiya Kiritsugu would often show her some outside movies and photos, and told her many stories about the outside world, such as New York, Paris and other international cities, as well as many People living in different lives, but it was the first time she had really left the castle in Germany to go out and see it with her own eyes.

As for the reason for coming to Fuyuki one year before the start of the Holy Grail War...

"I can feel it, Eri." Standing in the main entrance hall, Emiya Kiritsugu observed the castle with sharp eyes.

"Ah, yes, there is no sign of being destroyed at all." Irisviel made the same judgment after looking around.

As an annex specially set up by the Einzbern family, this castle is shrouded in multi-layered illusions and magical barriers, which will never be revealed except in extremely accidental situations. Quickly leave on its own under the ubiquitous hint magic.

But now, someone has entered without triggering any warning and defensive barriers, and more than once.

Ubstakuhuid von Einzbern, the old man who is the head of the Einzbern family, thinks that this is the work of a magician who is scheduled to participate in the upcoming Holy Grail War, and the purpose is to destroy this place. Destroy or place traps in the already prepared magic workshop.

Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel were ordered to rush to Fuyuki to repair and protect it in advance. It makes a big difference whether a magic workshop has an owner or not.

Under Kiritsugu's persuasion, they were allowed to bring their daughter Ilyasviel von Einsbern to experience the atmosphere of the "Holy Grail War", but it must be three months or more before the official start of the war. Sends her back when the heroic spirit is summoned.

Although he has so much relationship with the patriarch, he is actually unwilling to separate from his daughter prematurely. Unlike his appearance, Kiritsugu is actually a very gentle person, Irisviel thought so.

"Since the other party can completely avoid the alarm and protective magic, and is only accidentally discovered when the spiritual vein is disturbed, it must be impossible to see the appearance of the incoming person even if the magic of 'scene reappearance' is used," Emiya Kiritsugu pondered slightly ,

He walked towards the stairs of the castle: "But the other party must not guess that there is the 'that' I placed here."

Irisviel knew "that", which was a product of "technology" completely different from "mysteries" such as magic and alchemy.

When Kiritsugu came to Fuyuki to conduct a secret investigation two years ago, the cameras and video devices installed throughout the castle were activated in a series of different ways such as magic traps, infrared detection, weight perception, and sound feedback, so unless The intruder had achieved total invisibility, otherwise he would have been detected and recorded.

Although Kiritsugu's behavior is said to be completely devoid of the pride of a magician, from the perspective of the Einzbern family, which focuses on alchemy, no matter the product of mystery or science, it is a tool for people to control, and they can be used flexibly It is good to achieve his goal, so even with the notoriety of a magician killer, Grandpa is still willing to let him marry.

But even though he clearly used magic as a tool, he was still very angry at the treatment he received as a "magic tool" when we first met, and even because of this... Irisviel held a slightly hot face and was unwilling Keep thinking.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu noticed his wife's strange movements, but now he had more important things to do and ignored this trivial matter.

At this time, the two of them were in a secret room in the Einzbern Annex. More than a dozen surveillance images were showing the maids sorting out everywhere. Illya's lively figure appeared in some images from time to time. However, Emiya Kiritsugu began to remove one by one and play the video footage that was recorded when the castle "should" be empty.

Zizizi—the saved content soon appeared on a surveillance screen.

"Hmm, are you still aware of it? Some kind of magic that disrupts vision was used..."

Although the device used by Kiritsugu is very advanced, and the scene displayed is relatively clear, but the figure is blurred, and we can only preliminarily judge whether it is

A young woman with dark clothes and long light hair, about a year ago judging from the date in the corner of the frame.

Irisviel, who knew how many magic triggers there were, was taken aback by her act of pushing the door open like no one else, but nothing happened.

Then the woman began to visit the interior of the annex as if no one else was there, and after a rough turn, she opened the door and left without triggering any alarms or traps.

"I have to admit that she has very high attainments in magic, and she can use magic to protect herself at any time without deliberately being vigilant." Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed calmly, but Irisviel vaguely felt the scene in the picture. The woman seemed dissatisfied with the facilities here.

The recording will stop when there are no trigger conditions, so the next moment is still the scene of her opening the door and coming in. The difference from last time is that she is carrying a big bag and a very hard look. Kiritsugu is planning to analyze what is in those bags. What kind of magic supplies, one of the bags broke in a coordinated manner and spilled the contents on the ground.

"That's melon seeds, peanuts and potato chips?" Alice couldn't help laughing when she saw the girl froze for a moment, and then looked downcastly to find the utensils and start cleaning.

"Suddenly felt that it was a mistake for us to come to Fuyuki so seriously." Emiya Kiritsugu pinched his forehead, sighed, and said, "Although she is very powerful, she is probably the young lady of a certain magic family who went out to play."

"He's a good boy." From the jumping video, it can be seen that the girl has settled in a room in the castle. She seems to be playing nearby, and some cameras in the forest can sometimes capture her from different When staying in the castle room, he either read books or practiced magic, often cleaned the room, and occasionally went out to buy a lot of things like in the beginning.

"We have to educate Illya not to occupy other people's vacant houses when she travels in the future." Kiritsugu didn't pay much attention to the scene on the screen. Daily activities of young girls.

"If that child will come here again, you are not allowed to kill her." Irisviel said while looking at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"This kind of behavior of invading other magician's workshops must—" Kiritsugu spoke halfway, looked at his wife's eyes staring at him, and raised his hands in surrender: "——it can be forgiven, it can be forgiven."

The video of the last day shows that the time was three days ago, and it has been showing the picture facing the door of the girl's room. It is a bit strange for a long time, which proves that the girl seems to be using magic in the room, but because there is no surveillance in the room, there is only the door The camera is always on.

Flick, bang—little Ilya quickly ran past the door, which was next to the screen used for the video, another screen showing the live action.

Ilya, who was passing by, seemed to have noticed something, and slowly walked back to the door, stretching out her hand to open the door.

At the same time, the door in the picture three days ago opened at the same speed.

"This..." Emiya Kiritsugu sat up straight suddenly, and Irisviel's eyes widened.

There was no one in the door that Ilya opened, and there was no one outside when the girl opened the door three days ago and walked out.

However,

The unknown girl turned around and raised her hand to stroke Illya's hair, and Illya squinted her eyes contentedly.

"Illya!" Irisviel couldn't continue watching, she got up and rushed out of the secret room, and soon found her daughter who was still peeking into the room.

"Mom?" Illya, who was suddenly hugged by Irisviel, blinked her eyes in confusion, and then said, "Illya felt that there was a young lady inside, but she couldn't find it after opening the door. "

Emiya Kiritsugu was still staring at the surveillance screen in a daze in the secret room,

First of all, what the girl said three days ago, walked around Ilya's position three days later and walked towards the gate, while Ilya tilted her head and looked at the direction in which the girl left in doubt.

Then, in the picture from three days ago in another video, when the girl was walking towards the gate, she suddenly dodged to dodge something, and the position in the real picture was Irisviel who was flying by. .

"This is time magic... no, the fifth method?"
